Agricultural & Turf Equipment Sealing and Fluid Handling Solutions

Cooper Standard Industrial & Specialty Group (ISG) offers a unique combination of expertise, including engineering, materials, prototype/testing/validation and production, to help our agricultural equipment manufacturer partners design, develop and optimize any new or existing seal or gasket component for optimum performance in their machinery. We can help design and develop cab seals that work to keep good air in, and agricultural chemicals, rain, mud and humidity out. We can also develop fluid and air handling systems to support the equipment's performance and the user's comfort. Both of these systems are designed and built to support long-term performance.

Cooper Standard ISG seals robustly and reliably stand up to the wear and tear of long hours of operation in the harshest conditions, as well as the toughest operator handling so that farmers can work comfortably and safely with maximum productivity.

Cooper Standard ISG also utilizes Finite Element Analysis Technology (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), powerful software tools applied to design and development of our sealing and fluid handling systems for superior product performance.

Further, Cooper Standard ISG’s Crimp on Flange (COF) technology effectively doubles the pull-off force of glass cab door seals, keeping them secure through thousands of cycles as well as the rough handling of the operator.

Advanced Materials Science

Cooper Standard ISG sets the standards for the industry in developing customized EPDM and Plastic sealing and fluid handling solutions using multiple materials. Cooper Standard ISG engineers are also experts in optimizing silicone for high-temperature performance components. To learn more about our customized materials solutions, visit our materials page. Not sure if your application needs rubber or plastic? Check out our webpage about the difference between EPDM vs. Silicone, and explore the science behind the selection process.

EPDM

Cooper Standard ISG has the expertise to work with EPDM materials of all kinds, effectively building in the desired properties for any agricultural sealing application. EPDM options range from soft to firm, and include a light-density sponge for weight reduction. See more about our EPDM materials and how we can optimize applications with high-quality rubber.

Silicone

Often specified for high-temperature applications, Silicone is the go-to material to keep heat and dust from sensitive electronics and other areas. Cooper Standard ISG expertise can help develop a seal with optimum properties for the most severe conditions. Learn more about our silicone properties and capabilities.

Fortex™

Cooper Standard ISG’s proprietary Fortrex™ elastomer is an environmentally friendly material that can deliver a wide range of strength, performance and weight reduction benefits in many agricultural applications. Read more about Fortrex™'s performance properties, aesthetics, and environmental attributes.

Rubber & Plastic

The Cooper Standard ISG portfolio of materials includes world-class expertise in a wide variety of plastic and rubber materials, such as neoprene for superior oil resistance, and TPE, TPB and other thermoplastics that can deliver unique performance and cost advantages in many applications. Learn more about our rubber and plastic materials and how we can help optimize your application's demands.

Reduce Labor and Assembly Time with Value-Added Sealing Capabilities

In addition to developing and producing high-performing seals, Cooper Standard ISG can also work with agricultural equipment manufacturers to identify opportunities to reduce labor and assembly time in any facility. Whatever the need, Cooper Standard ISG can be a go-to partner for adding value in strategic and innovative ways.

Adhesive Laminating

Cooper Standard ISG can specify high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesives for any seal, providing fast and easy installation at your facility. Learn more about choosing the rubber adhesives that best fit your needs.

Push Pin Seals

An alternative to adhesives in some applications, seals can be produced with precisely spaced pins for fast and easy assembly.

Coatings

Seals can be skillfully prepared with specialty surface treatments before shipping to further build-in properties for ease of assembly and additional protection against the elements, wear, abrasion and more.

Cutting, Notching, and More

Cooper Standard ISG can finish seals using a wide variety of value-added cutting processes such as custom cutting to desired lengths, providing a high degree of accuracy as well as time savings in assembly. Cooper Standard ISG also offers meticulous notching, drilling and punching capabilities, and other processes that can help ensure that the finished component is shipped assembly-ready.

Printing

From part number and other basic identifying data to more intricate logos and imprints, Cooper Standard ISG can pre-print any information on the finished seal before shipping.

Welding & Splicing

Post-production cold and hot splicing and welding can be used to create O-rings or complex multi-sided components as suits the application.

Multi-Durometer

Cooper Standard ISG can combine two or more materials through a single die so that the extrusions merge into one seal structure to deliver an outstanding combination of ease of attachment and sealing performance.
